Understand your child
Support them better
Enjoy parenting together
You don’t have to do it alone
For 10+ years, I’ve supported hundreds of young children and their families, using gentle, evidence-based early years approaches that truly respect each child.
Hi, I’m Patricia —
but most children know me as Miss Grande
Why I Started Supporting Families
I started this project after seeing how many parents feel overwhelmed, unsure if they’re doing the “right” thing, and worried when their child struggles with emotions, behaviour, or confidence.
Parents want to do their best, but can feel pulled in every direction by too much information, too many opinions, and not enough real guidance to truly understand their child.
From a young age,
I loved playing at being a teacher with my dolls and teddies
Nurturing little ones has always come naturally to me
Let’s understand your child together
Some days you wonder if you’re doing the right thing. Your child has big reactions, tricky moments, or behaviour you don’t fully understand, and you just want to respond in a way that truly helps them.
You read, you try, you care deeply, but it’s hard to know what actually fits your child. Every child is different, and what works for one does not always work for another.
Sometimes what parents need most is not more tips, but clarity, reassurance, and someone who really understands both children and the emotions behind their behaviour.
